honestly, i don't think i should be ranking this, because this is way more important than some rating system — but besides that, this was excellent as a look into the Civil War and especially the point of view of a black person, a black woman, in those times. 
Big respect and awe towards Susie King Taylor, because she was there through the trenches and yet she was able to make history as the first black army nurse and the only black woman to publish a memoir of her Civil War experiences. wow.
